Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate changes in the cleft width, defined as the distance between the lateral edge of the medial tibial plateau and that of the medial meniscus (MM) posterior root, using open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with MM posterior root tear (MMPRT).

Methods
This study included 25 patients (20 women and 5 men; mean age: 65.2 years) who were diagnosed with MMPRT and underwent pullout repair. Upon coronal imaging, the cleft width was evaluated at the 10° and 90° flexed knee positions. The difference in the cleft width (defined as the cleft width at 90° minus the cleft width at 10°) was also calculated. Upon sagittal imaging, the MM posterior extrusion (MMPE) at 90° was also evaluated. Separate univariate linear regression models were used to determine the association between the time from injury to MRI and radiographic measurements.

Results
The mean cleft width at 10° and 90° was 4.9 ± 2.6 mm and 7.4 ± 3.7 mm, respectively; the mean difference in cleft width was 2.5 ± 1.5 mm, and the mean MMPE at 90° was 3.7 ± 1.3 mm. There was a significant difference in cleft width at 10° and 90° (p < 0.001). The time from injury to MRI was significantly associated with the cleft width at 10° (R = 0.42; p = 0.023), cleft width at 90° (R = 0.59; p = 0.002), the difference in the cleft width (R = 0.62; p = 0.008), and MMPE at 90° (R = 0.53; p = 0.008).

Conclusion
This study demonstrates that the cleft width is significantly larger during knee flexion than during knee extension. Increased cleft width during knee flexion (“graben” sign) may help diagnose MMPRT, especially in cases where the cleft sign is unclear during knee extension.
